... to be creeped out by this FB status?

Friend and mother of a baby girl has posted the following status update on her FB:

FATHERS: Be your daughter's 1st love. Open doors for her, pull her seat out, & talk to/treat her with the utmost respect... Set expectations on how a man should treat a Lady, and she'll never settle for anything less.

I feel really uncomfortable about this. To my ear this sounds like a really unhealthy, possibly somewhat incest-y father/daughter relationship. Freud would have had a field day with this one!

Now, I don't think for even a second that this is what my friend actually means by this. If anything, she arguably thinks of it as a somewhat feminist, raise your daughter's self-worth kind of thing. It's just unluckily chosen/not thought through AFAIK.

Am I being oversensitive here? WIBU to tell her that it smacks of something really creepy and to advise her to remove/rephrase?

WTF?! Completely failing to see how you're reading incest into that. To me it reads teach your daughter to expect manners and to be treated well in relationships, and she won't want to settle for a loser.

YABU. I don't think it reads that way at all. I wouldn't say anything as you will look weird. Although I think really fathers should be told to treat the mothers of their children that way. Particularly when I read some of the shit some women put up with on mn.

Yabu - are Father's not allowed to show their daughters these things.I don't see anything wrong with that. I wish I'd had a Father around that taught me not to settle for dickhead men with dickhead behaviour.

I understand the sentiment behind it but it's a bit cringey. TBH, if fathers want to teach their daughters to value themselves and to expect to be treated well, the best thing they can do is to treat his wife with respect, open doors for her, value her, speak nicely to and about her because he is modelling what a husband is and his daughter will expect and accept the same treatment as her mother does. Hope that makes sense, I'm cooking dinner at the same time. While my husband is sleeping on the couch. And my daughter is watching. So she'll be cooking dinner in 30 years while her husband dozes

Oedipus and Electra Complexes ...... see that status I can cope with ... but I did a read a really grim (I thought it was grim) one from father to daughter, that if I just summarise , said 'I like shagging about, I'll teach you how to do it without guilt'.

And Im sure someone will be long behind me stating free love is just so marvellous.
